Welcome to Taurus season, where things have slowed down as Mercury is in retrograde and power struggles arise with the Sun and Pluto squaring off with each other. The most famous retrograde, Mercury will backspin in Taurus from April 21st - May 14th. The ruler of communication, technology, and travel, people tend to notice the chaotic energy that Mercury in retrograde exudes.

Meanwhile, the Taurus Sun and transformative Pluto are at 90 degrees from each other, which will illuminate fears and desires that have been buried away. As you work through these emotions try not to be pulled into fights about power dynamics with the people around you. As Taurus season tests your strength and patience, we’ve got you covered with a collection of star sign inspired wines. Check them out below, along with our new Taurus Season Spotify Playlist, where you’ll find a stellar collection of tunes to keep you bumpin’ all month long.

Aries

The Sun has shifted out of your sign and into Taurus, as well as your second house of stability and practicality. Spend this season taking your time with the present as your focal point. Like they say, slow and steady wins the race. Instead of trying to work on all the ideas you came up with last season, pick the top three and evaluate their possibilities and your motives. Whichever seems to be the best is the one you should work on.

Taurus

Happy Birthday Taurus! The Sun is shining on your sign and bringing new beginnings with it. Find time amongst all the celebrations to prioritize yourself and your desires, while reflecting on the past year. Any challenges you face will be easier to handle, which is lucky because Mercury is in retrograde for most of your season. As the planet of communication, Mercury backtracking in your sign may make you feel misunderstood. Have patience and find ways to effectively communicate your thoughts and feelings.

With the Sun in your twelfth house of rest and healing, you’re ready for some solo time. Try going to the park with a book and a bottle of rose, treat yourself to a massage, or light some incense at home and listen to a podcast. Only take on what you can handle and delegate the rest, so you can spend more time exploring your feelings and healing from any recent hurts or let downs.

You’re looking to spend less time in the office and more time out with friends this Taurus season. With so many options like outdoor dining, baseball games, or visiting the botanical garden, you’re ready to spend this season mingling with your besties.

The Sun is beaming on your tenth house of structure, leaving you zeroed in on plans to actualize your goals. While you craft these plans, make sure they’re solid before you commit to anything serious. With the Sun and Pluto squaring off, you’ll find yourself craving clarity from others. You’re reading into the subtext of what those around you aren’t saying, and trying to get to the heart of any problems that may arise if left unchecked.

Virgo

You’ve got the travel bug this Taurus season and are looking for any and every opportunity to leave the city. The best time to indulge your wanderlust would be after May 14th, once Mercury stops back spinning in Taurus, whether it be a day trip upstate, a weekend getaway in Philly, or a vacation to somewhere new. In the meantime, make sure you’re not micromanaging as you tend to do. Instead, delegate to the capable people around you who can dedicate more time to the smaller tasks.

With the glorious Sun in your eighth house of intimacy and privacy, you’re looking to go off grid for a little bit. You’re yearning for some time to dedicate towards processing your emotions and maybe doing some soul-searching at the same time. Are you where you want to be in life? Is there a different path you’d like to explore? Consider renting a bed & breakfast near the water or staying at home with your devices on 'do not disturb,' so you have space to contemplate things.

Scorpio

With Taurus being your opposite sign, the Sun is at its furthest point from you. While you’re missing the Sun’s rays, focus in on the relationships in your life. Make sure you’re still in sync with the people around you and that your relationships are an equal balance of give-and-take. There’s nothing worse than realizing you’ve been taking other’s energy without reciprocating. Ensure you create boundaries for yourself and for others so things stay balanced.
